I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?

Question

I've just found out that my absolute basophils and basophils count are at 0.0, and I'm a bit worried because I found that the normal range for absolute basophils is around 20 to 100 cmm. Should I be concerned about this? How can I work on increasing these levels?

Question

I'm really concerned about these red pin prick spots that have appeared under my skin on my legs, and on each leg, there's a big purple and yellow bruise. I also noticed some tiny patches of these pin pricks on my fingers. Plus, I've had a headache on and off for the last two days. Could this be something serious? What should I do?

Question

I'm a 21-year-old female and recently found out that my red blood cell count is a bit higher than normal. It came back at 5.19 gdl, even though the range is usually 3.80-5.10 gdl. My doctor said not to worry but it's still on my mind. Should I be concerned about this?
